Colossians
3:12-17
Col 3:12 You are the people of God; he loved you and chose
you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness, and patience.
Col 3:13 Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of
you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just
as the Lord has forgiven you.
Col 3:14 And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together
in perfect unity.
Col 3:15 The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make;
for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And
be thankful.
Col 3:16 Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach
and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs;
sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.
Col 3:17 Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord
Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.
